Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating mechatronic functional modules for producing, treating, inspecting and/or transporting containers for liquid products between modules in a production plant and a production plant with such functional modules.
- Production systems in particular bottling systems for bottling beverages or similar liquid productions in containers, are known to include a large number of mechatronic functional modules for producing, treating, inspecting and/or transporting the containers between modules.
- a specific production process is then assigned to each of the mechatronic function modules, such as stretch blow molding of plastic containers, labeling of the containers, filling of the liquid products or transport between the individual function modules.
- Such mechatronic function modules are known to have electronic control devices which serve to control the runtime of the respective function module, ie to control its operation, including the actuators, sensors, frequency converters or similar components required for this. Furthermore, the control devices specify machine parameters and treatment parameters of the respective function module, for example for its type-specific operation and for the diagnosis of malfunctions, and also enable communication with central and/or decentralized control devices of the production plant, possibly with other function modules.
- the function modules can only be relatively inflexibly adapted to changing production conditions or optimized during operation by their control devices, since there are only comparatively small amounts of data on site, which essentially only include the functions and parameters of the respective function module.
- the method described is used to operate mechatronic function modules for producing, treating, inspecting and/or transporting containers for liquid products, in particular beverages, between modules in a production plant, in particular a bottling plant.
- mechatronic function modules for producing, treating, inspecting and/or transporting containers for liquid products, in particular beverages, between modules in a production plant, in particular a bottling plant.
- individually associated initial design data and specification data and initial topological data in machine-readable form are kept in the functional modules, with the topological data relating at least to the inter-modular product flow in the production plant and the communication between the functional modules.
- the function modules are controlled using the initial design data, specification data and/or topological data.
- the initial design and specification data stored in the respective functional module facilitate/enable maintenance of the respective functional module without querying relevant information from a central data source.
- the topological data stored in the function module facilitate/enable, for example, based on the then known product flow, production optimization including, in particular, all function modules involved in the product flow, i.e. taking into account their process-technical interaction with one another.
- the necessary communication between the function modules is facilitated by the locally/decentrally specified topological data in the function module, in particular by direct inter-module connection establishment on an initially specified communication path.
- Mechatronic function modules are mechanical units such as treatment machines, including treatment units and/or inspection units. which are each assigned to a specific production process, such as the preheating of preforms, stretch blow molding or labeling of containers, their inspection or the like.
- Initial data is to be understood as meaning data that is already defined/specified at the start of production due to the design and possibly also product-specifically. Initial data is stored in the functional modules, for example, when individual functional modules and/or the treatment machines/production system that includes them are put into operation and/or updated during associated maintenance measures.
- a machine-readable data form is to be understood as meaning that the data described is present in the function modules in a standardized data format and/or can be read using standardized communication protocols. For example, in such a way that the initial design and specification data and the initial topological data can be read out and displayed by a mobile terminal device and/or by an operating and output unit present on the function module. This enables uncomplicated on-site access to the information held in the function module.
- the topological data can at least relate to the independent establishment of a connection between the function modules, which includes the identity and address of the function modules and, in particular, further information about which of the function modules are relevant and/or prioritized communication partners for each other.
- the establishment of communication is thus possible directly and automatically without negotiating communication links in the sense of an "online search" in the respective communication network solely on the basis of the information stored in the function modules. This facilitates the inter-modular optimization of production processes, i.e. not only the optimization of the individual function modules taken individually, but also their interaction in production operations.
- the initial design data, specification data and topological data preferably contain at least two of the following information: a 3D CAD model of the functional module; a 3D model for finite element simulation and/or for simulating frequency behavior in the function module; an electrical circuit diagram of the function module, in particular with technical specifications of associated components; electrical connections of assemblies of the functional module; an R&L flow diagram of the associated treatment machine and/or production plant, in particular with technical specifications associated riger functional elements and/or their mutual dependencies; an arrangement plan of the associated treatment machine and/or production plant, in particular with technical specifications of associated machine parts/plant parts; Parts lists of mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and/or hydraulic components of the function module; technical specifications of the containers to be processed with associated equipment, auxiliary materials and/or filling products; Maintenance documentation for the functional module, the associated treatment machine and/or production facility; and specification of the life cycle of the functional module.
- the control device/the runtime system can thus be provided with comprehensive knowledge about the initial design and specification data as well as about topological data, i.e. essentially knowledge that comes from the upstream development process, the design and the installation of the respective function module and/or the associated production plant . This improves the decentralized and inter-modular optimization of the production processes of the individual function modules and also enables targeted and time-saving maintenance of the individual function modules.
- At least part of the initial design and specification data and the topological data are preferably combined in a digital system model of the associated treatment machine and/or production plant, with the system model comprising at least four, in particular all, functional models involved in the product flow and processing at least two of the following information: Data points from sensors and actuators of the function modules and the associated data flows among themselves; Catalog with mandatory and optional functions of the function modules and with mutual dependencies of their scope of functions; Topology of the functional modules among one another and/or with regard to the treatment machines and/or production plant comprising them; Interface requirements of the function modules; and requirements for supplying the function modules with electrical energy; media and consumables.
- the system model preferably includes all of the information required for inter-modular communication. Identities and communication addresses defined in the system model can be transferred to the respective function modules and kept there. On the basis of the communication information from the system model stored in such a decentralized manner, a targeted connection setup and data exchange between function modules assigned to one another as communication partners is possible automatically and directly, i.e. without the respective negotiation of network connections.
- the data points mentioned can be understood as data inputs or data outputs on sensors, actuators, frequency converters, controllers or the like.
- individually associated current status data of the function modules can be stored and/or processed in the function modules, with the function modules then being controlled using the current status data.
- These then contain at least two of the following items of information: current operating status, current operating mode and/or current malfunctions of the function module; operator notices and/or operator instructions; current forecasts of material requirements and/or maintenance times; current recommendations for action on the production process; current software version dates; current diagnostic data; current performance and/or consumption data, such as current energy and media consumption and/or efficiency.
- the initial knowledge from the upstream development and construction processes can be combined and/or compared with current knowledge from ongoing operations, in order to be able to carry out maintenance measures and/or production optimization in a particularly targeted manner, for example.
- individually associated historical data of the function module can be stored and/or processed in the function modules, with the function modules then being controlled using the historical data.
- These then contain at least two of the following pieces of information collected over several production processes: electronic logbook of the functional module; Kl training parameter sets; AI learning outcomes; limit values of machine parameters and associated operating states; switching cycles; load change; temperature curves; communication load; Kl-experiential knowledge from interactions with operators; cause-fault relationships; Long-term data on energy and media consumption and/or efficiency.
- data collected over several production batches and/or data obtained from self-learning processes i.e. data that is based on Kl (Artificial intelligence) were obtained, are included in the respective adjustment and optimization tasks decentralized on the respective function module.
- Kl Artificial intelligence
- the function modules can each automatically configure, diagnose, organize, optimize, protect and/or heal themselves on the basis of the individually associated initial design and specification data and the topological data in terms of control technology.
- a self-configuration is then to be understood as meaning that data knowledge about itself and about independent changes is stored in the functional module and, on this basis, a change is made automatically, for example from a basic configuration to certain production configurations or between such configurations.
- a self-diagnosis is to be understood as meaning that data knowledge about itself is stored in the functional module and its operating state is researched and/or calculated on this basis and can be explained independently. In particular, solution proposals can then be created and/or selected independently by the module.
- Self-organization is to be understood as meaning an intra-modular combination of self-configuration and self-diagnosis with the result of an adaptation of process-related and/or program-related sequences, in particular automatically in combination with other functional modules.
- Self-optimization can also be understood as an intra-modular combination of self-configuration and self-diagnosis, which results in an independent adaptation of the configuration for process optimization.
- Self-protection can also be understood as an intra-modular combination of self-configuration and self-diagnosis, with the result that the function module independently initiates protective measures, for example against foreseeable error states.
- Self-healing is to be understood as meaning that, for example, self-diagnosis and self-configuration are combined with one another intra-modularly in such a way that repair measures, in particular for unforeseeable error states, can be initiated and/or carried out independently by the respective functional module.
- the functional module obtains the necessary knowledge about itself, for example, based on the initial design and specification data, i.e., for example, based on requirements, limitations, inter-module dependencies, the higher-level configuration of the treatment machine and/or production system comprising the functional module, based on target values, target loads, cross-module Descriptions, performance data, tolerances, service life data, logbook data or the like.
- the production system described is in particular a bottling system and includes mechatronic function modules for producing, treating, inspecting and/or transporting containers for liquid products, in particular drinks, between modules, ie for transporting between the individual function modules.
- the function modules each include: a storage device with initial design and specification data of the function module stored therein in a machine-readable manner and with topological data at least relating to the product flow in the production plant and the communication between the function modules.
- the function modules each include a control device for runtime control of the function module, including the design data, specification data and/or topological data, in particular according to the method according to at least one of the described embodiments.
- the function modules can include at least two of the following module types: heating module for heating preforms or containers; stretch blow molding module for forming the containers; cooling module for cooling the containers; Turning module for turning the containers overhead; Coating module for internal coating of the containers; Printing module for printing the containers; labeling module for labeling the containers; inspection module for inspecting the containers; cleaning module for cleaning the containers; Filling module for filling liquid products into containers; and/or closing module for closing the filled containers.
- the function modules can also include at least one of the following module types: conveyor belt, in particular with slaves for receiving containers; linear motor transport system; Transport carousel, in particular with container clamps; and surrounding transport route.
- the control device can include an electronic processing unit, in particular with Internet-of-Things functionality, which is used to process the initial construction and specification data of the functional module and topological data and in particular individually associated current status data of the functional module and/or individually associated historical data of the functional module is programmed.
- the processing unit is then connected, for example, to an API (Application Programming Interface), which can, for example, communicate with individual function modules, establishes the connection to a cloud, establishes the connection to a human-machine interface and/or the connection to an electronic sales platform and /or provides an analysis service.
- API Application Programming Interface
- the production plant preferably includes a communication network for the function modules such that these are set up for the decentralized provision of initially defined identities and addresses of all function modules provided as communication partners as part of the topological data and also for independent communication with one another on the basis of the identities and addresses defined in this way.
- the control device can include a processing unit that is programmed with a digital system model of the associated treatment machine and/or production plant, in which at least part of the initial design and specification data, the topological data and at least two of the following information each relate to at least four, in particular all , function models involved in the product flow are processed: data points from sensors and actuators of the function modules and the associated data flows among themselves; Catalog with mandatory and optional functions of the function modules and with mutual dependencies of their scope of functions; Topology of the function modules among one another and with regard to the treatment machines and/or production plant comprising them; Interface requirements of the function modules; and requirements for supplying the function modules with electrical energy, media and consumables.

- the function modules 3, 4 each include a memory device 21 with the initial design data 17, the initial specification data 18 and the topological data 19 stored therein in machine-readable form. Furthermore, the function modules 3, 4 each include an electronic control device 22 for runtime control of the respective function module 3, 4, including the design data 17, specification data 18 and/or topological data 19 stored therein.

- the topological data 19 preferably also includes information about which of the function modules 1 to 13 of the production plant 100 are relevant and/or prioritized communication partners for each other. In the example in Figure 2, this applies, for example, to the functional modules 3, 4 that interact directly in terms of process technology in the treatment machine 16.
- data points 27 are kept decentralized, which relates to the data flow 28 between actuators 29, sensors 30, frequency converters 31, control devices 22 or similar data sources or data receivers.
